My wife is currently studying in Canada and have been there with our son of 10months now since 13th of last month. I applied for SOWP 29th of last month and have passed medicals and have done biometrics as well. Please does my wife need to write IRCC this letter to hasten the application? Though I did the application myself from Nigeria. Thanks as I await your response.


Yes....a guide on how to write is even on the previous comment on this tread...go way back to about one or two months ago
I think you meet the family unification condition.

[quote author=otexx post=102257020]Please what is the processing time for a student who has study visa applying for her husband to get SOWP?[/quot

33weeks as at dis week, but it's review weekly so we expect a processing time reduction today...
But if you Are already in Canada you can apply for traveling exception under family unification and the application might be processed faster if they feel you are qualified for it

Thank you
My questions are :
1) After registry, how long can someone wait before applying for spousal application? For instance, let's say the registry was done in May, when can one commence the spousal application?

2) What fate does the couples have if both parents aren't present at the wedding? However, the friends of the couples will be on ground to take pictures and stand as witnesses.

3) Is doing only registry okay? Do the couples need to hold tradition wedding and maybe a party? Can only the registry certificate and pictures be enough ?

4) For a relationship of 7yrs (one of the couples travelled when the relationship was about 6months) and they've been in communication since then and everyone around them knows that they've been dating for about 7yrs, they have few photos evidence to prove that they've been in a relationship since 2014, what's the fate of the visa application? What's are the chances of the visa being denied?

5) How long does the visa processing take? It's 12months on CiC website. Is the 12months accurate ?

Thank you as i await responses
As soon as you are ready marriage is not judge on a curve when you are married you are married

What is most important is that there are witnesses and it's verifiable by any authority

Registry wedding is one of the types of wedding that is recognize in Nigeria and traditional is another wedding and they are both recognize individually and important as far as the institution of marriage is concerned

Your wedding pictures is enough proof of a relationship ensure they are beautifully taken and represent all the sweet memories you have shared

Visa approval or denial is at the prerogative of the visa officer in charge of ur case but spousal sponsorship or open work permit are mostly successfully if the documentation is properly packaged and you are financially stable to support a family

Processing time varies for different application but for spousal open work permit is presently 33 weeks but we are praying it is reduced today .but I think it's about 12 months for spousal sponsorship and that is like PR straight

Goodday people,

I came across one travel agency recently and they promised to give me 2-5yrs Canada tourist visa, which allows me to work. Documentation fee 700k and visa processing 72k.

Please i would like to know how feasible this is.

Thank you.

419....u can't work with tourist visa in Canada if you are from Nigeria
And anyone that assures you of Canada visa is a fraudster...it's impossible to garantie anyone' visa ...is about you meeting the eligibility requirements and proper documentation.

Go to IRCC website and educate urself about different kind of visa and there requirements

Work on meeting the requirement...and u can apply for any kind of visa urself

Good afternoon
Please I’m new here.

I’d like to ask if I’m to apply for visiting visa for my spouse n infant or swop first?
Should I apply when I’m in Canada or still in Nigeria



Your prompt response will be highly

Apply in Canada because you presently don't have enough documents to apply for SOWP

apply for your infant now .. but you have to be financially ready for that .

Thanks for replying
Asides this affidavit, someone was saying I have to do another NIN and then take both to the immigration office to effect the change on my passport
To get NIN now is like gold not to talk of international passport.... I don't even know if I'm doing it afresh

I really don't know what to do
Another NIN is impossible...the moment you put ur fingerprint all your previous info will be out ..... everything I mean everything..that is why biometric is very powerful ooooo.....with biometric u can't beat the system

Hello everyone,

Please does anyone knows how I can do a change of name on my international passport without having to do a renewal especially with the new development?

Recently got married but I don't have any doc with my new surname and my husband would be applying later on. Also his elder brother is my sponsor

So I really need to change the surname to theirs.

Please gurus in the house, what should I do?

@Frankrobbn1
@JustMellow
@Justwise
@Anon@123
@MindfulV
Or anyone that know what I can do
It's through the usual processing
Swear an affidavit ( judiciary is on strike)

news papers printing of change of name (can't be done without affidavit)

I don't want to even talk of the present immigration rules

Just apply like that...

Good morning guy's, please I need someone to help me out with this,I have a gf in Canada,we have been together before she traveled to Canada, she is a citizen now though, currently working, now she wants me to come over, I really don't know anything about Canada visas type,I just told her I will get back to her,please house what type of Visa do you think will be the best,I'm considering of asking her to help me secure a job,maybe I can use that to apply for work permit here in Nigeria, but on the other hand,I decided to bring it here,so that you guys can please help me out.
It is easy to get a job in Canada if ur girlfriend will just approach an immegration firm that employ the services of an immegration consultant with good standing in Canada,..eg AJ immegration in Alberta, and some other she should check them out although there services are not cheap.

[quote author=Iffylove post=101871323]I will advice you to wait and follow the smooth process of change of name once and for all since you are married
visit any newspaper vendor where advertisement for change of name is pasted or ask any vendor if they do change of name for people or not.. I did mine few years ago through a vendor, I submitted necessary documents that showed am married, paid and between few weeks (2), it came out in the newspaper,,, I still have the copies at home.
Thereafter, go to immigration office in your state for change of name on passport......
I dont know if others have views different from mine


just continue with ur application

Good day beatiful people,
Please i would need a clarification on this.
I applied for Canadian temporary work permit last year. I received the LMIA in january
then i applied for work permit in febrary, 2020 and the the covid lock down came up .
Till now my permit is still in processing. I feel i cant wait any longer so i have decided to apply for study route. But
some one just told me that canadian embassy do not process two temporary visa at the same time.that
they normally work with the old application unless i have to cancel the work permit in processing already.
MY concern is that i dont the outcome of the previous work permit and i cant just sit and keep waiting not knowing when
covid will be opver.

pls kindly advise me on what to do.
Is it employer specific work permit
Are you not communicating with your employer?
If yes, work permit if all things are done right always get approved, pls be patient, study permit route is also suffering the same visa application delay some ppl have been waiting since Octobe it is because of travel restrictions and covid

When applying for Canada visa , patience should be one of your strength
